From the LONDON GAZETTE, November 13. . Wefiminfler, Nevember 13. H:LS Day, the Lords being met, 2 Mel- ¥ fage was fent to the Honourable Houle : of Commons by Sir Henry Bellenden, Gentleman Ufher of the Black Rod, de- firing their Attendance in the Houle of Peers ; the Commons being come thither accordingly, the follewing SPEECH. of the Lords Commiffioners, appointed by his Majefty, for holding this Parliament, was delivered by the Lord Keeper to both Houles. My Lerds and Gentlemen, % % & N purfuance of the Authority given to us, by % I % his Majefty’s commiffion, under the Great 9%k 8% Seal, amonglt other things, to declare the caufe of his holding this Parliament, his Ma- jefty has been gracioufly plealed to direét us to aflure you, That he efteems himlfelf particularly happy. in being able to call you together, in a fixuation of affairs, 'go glorious and advantageous to his Crown and King- oms. His Mijefty [ees, and devoutly adores, the hand of providence, in the many fignal fuccefles, both by fea and land, with which his arms have been blefled, in the courfe of the laft fummer ; and, at the fame time, his Majefty reflects, with much fatisfation, on the con- fidence,which you placed in him, by making fuch ample provifions, and intrufting him with fuch extenfive powers for carrying on a war, which the defence of our valuable rights, and poffefiions, and the refervation of the navigation and commerce of his Majcgy‘s people, had made both juft and neceflary. We have it alfo in command from his Majefty to scquaint you, that the happy progrels of our fuccedes, from the taking of Goree, on the coaft of Africs, to the conqueft of fo many important pleces in America, with the defeat of the French army in Canada, and the reduion of their capital City of QuEsEc, cftefted with fo much honor to the courage &nd conduét of his Majefty’s officers both at fea and land ; and with fo great luftre to his intrepid forces; together with the important faccefs obtained by his Maiefty's fleet off Cape Lagos ; and the -effectual blocking up, for fo many months, the principal part of the navy ot France, in their own ports ; are events, which muft have filled the heasts-of all his Majefty’s faithful fubjeéts, as well s his own, with the fincereft joy ; and, his Majety trufts, will convince you, thatthere has been no want "of vigilance, or vigour, cn his part, in exerting thofe means, which you, with fo much prudence, and public fpirited z=al, put into his Majefty’s hands. That our advantages have extended farther ;3 and the divine blefling has favoured us in the Eaft Indies, where tlie dangerous defigns of his Majelty’s enemies have mifcarried 3 and that valuable branch of our trade has received great benefit and proteélion. "That the memorable victory gained over the French, near Minden, has long made a deep impreflion on the minds of his Majefty’s pcople. And that if the crifis, in which that battle was fought ; the fuperior number of the cnemy, and the great and able condué& of his M jsfty’s general, Prince Ferdinand of Bruniwick, are confidered ; that a&tion muft be the fubjeét of lafting sdmiration and thankfulnefs, That, if any thing could £11 the breafts of his Mejefty’s good fubjedls with ftill farther degrees of exuliation, it is the diftinguithed and unbroken valour of his M jefty’s troop: : owned and spplauded by thofe whom tncy overcame. The glory they have gained is not merely their own : but, in a national view, is one of the moft impostant circum- Rances of our fuccefls,as it muft bea ftriking admonition to Jur encmies, with whom they have to contend. "Fhat his Majefty’s good brother and ally the king of Piuffia, atracked and furrounded by fo many corfiderable powers, has, by his magnanimity, and abilities, and the bravery of his tioops, been able, in & forprizing manner, to prevent the milchiefs concerted, with fuch united force, againft him. His Mujefty has further commanded us to obferve to you, that as His Maj:fty en ered into this war, not from views of ambition, fo he does not wifh te continue it, from motives of refentment. The defire of his Majefty’s heart is, to fee a ftop put to the cffufion of chriftian blood ; whenever fuch terms of peace canbe eftablithed, as fhall be jult and honourable for his Majefty, and his allies ; and, by procuring (uch advantages, as, From the fucceffes of his Majefty’s arms, may, in reafon and equity, bé expeéted fhall bring along with them full fecurity for the future ;5 his Majelty will rejoice to fee the repole of Europe reftored, on fach fclid and durable foundaticns ; and Lis faichful fu'bj:&s, to whofe liberal fupport,and unfhakea firmnels, his Majefty owes fo much, happy in the enjoyment of rh; bleffings of peace and tranquility : but, 1n erder to this great and defirable end, his Majefty is confident you will agree with him, that it is neceffary to make ample provifion for carrying on the war, in all parts, with the utmoft vigour. Gentlemen of the Houfe of Commons, We are commanded by his Msjefty to aflure vou, that the great {upplies,which were given the laft feflion, have been faithtully employed for the purpoles, for which they were granted ; but the uncommon extent of this war, and the various fervices neceflary to be provided for, in order to fecure fuccefs to his Majefty’s mealures, hath unavoidably occafioned extraordinary expences ; an account of which will be laid before you. His Majefty has allo ordered the proper eftimates for the fervice of the enfuing year to be prepared and laid before you ; and his Maj-fty defires you to grant him fupplies, as fhall be neceflary to fuftain, and prefs,with effe@, all our extenfive operations againft the enemy ; and, at the {ame time, by the blefling of God, to repel and fruftrate their daring defigns againft his Majefty’s kingdoms. L O N D O N, November 135. The humble Addrels of the Right Honorable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parlisment aflem- bled, November 13. 1759. WE, your Majefty’s moft dutiful and loyal fubje&s the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parlia- ment affembled, beg leave to approach your Majefty with the warmeft fentiments of duty, and with hearts tull of the moft fincere joy, to congratulate your Majefty upon the great and fignal fucceffes, with which it has pleafed Almighty God to profper your Majefty’s un- wearied endeavours for the fafety, welfare, and honour of your people. We acknowledge with all thenkfulnefs and humility, the goodnels of the Divine Providence, in the many glorious events, which will for ever diftinguifh this me- morable year. We entirely rely upon your Majefty’s conftant re- gard and attention to the true interefts of your fubjects, from the fall experience which we have had of the wife and cFeftual ule, which your Majelty has made of all the extenfive powers, with which the confilence of Parliament has, irom time to time ftrengthened your M:jefty’s hands. But we muft, in 2 particular manuer, gratefully acknowledge the extraordinary vigilance, vi- gour, and wifdom of your M:jefly’s meafures, in the fleady and fuccefsful diretions of fo many various ope- rations in different parts of the world. The happy progrefs of your Mzjefty’s arms, from the taking of Goree on the coaft of Atrica, and fome of the French fugar ifl#.ds in the Weft Indies, to the acquifi- tion of many important places in America, and the de- feat of the Enemy’s army in Canada. with the reduélticn of the capital city of Quebec, againft the greateft difad- vantage of fituation and numbers, has exceeded the moft fanguine hopes of your Majefty’s faithful [ubjecls Nor has the good eff.& of your Mjefty’s prudent meafures been lefs confpicuous, in the ditappointment of the dan- gerous defigns of your enemies in the Eaft Indies; in the effo@ual blocking up the principal part of the French flzet in their own ports ; and the important advantage gained off Cape Lisgos ; while your M :jefty’s care has preferved your own Kingdoms from any hoftile attempt, and has pro:cted the navization and commerce of your own fubjes, in almoft as fuli a fecurity as during the time of profound peace. The memorable vi€tory gained over the French near Minden, cannot burmake a deep and lafing impreflion upon every Britifh mind. Whether we confider the great and able conduét of your Majefty’s General, Prince Ferdinand i Brun{ wick, the valour of your Majelty’s troops, the inequality of the force, or the imminent peril of that important crifis, the happy deliverance wrought by that alion, and the glorious con‘equences of it, muft ever be the Iubject of our praife and thankfulnefs. Ttis matter of juft exultation to us, that the Britifh efficers and - private men, both by fea and land, have given o many inftances of perfonal bravery and mili- tary condu@. The example will animate others ; their reputation is national ftrength, and will convince the enemy whatthey have to apprehend from a brave and gallant people fired with zzal in defence of their King and 'Country. We beg leave to exprefs the high fenfe we have of the magnanimity and tranfcendent abiliiies of the King, ‘of Prufliz ; which bave, in a furprizing manner, pre- vented the mifchievous efefs of t-e united forée of fo many confilerable powers, by which he has been aitack- eiand furrounded on all fides ; againft whom he has bore upand fupported himelt by the fortitude ard in g \ Nums. 176.
